Reply to comment by ParreNagga in [Homemade] Herring in oil for Christmas breakfast! by twotaktok

Herring in oil is a Polish thing, usually for holidays like Christmas or Easter. I just bought herring filets, cut them is smaller pieces, rinsed them a few times, soaked in milk, dunked in oil, added onions, and left in fridge for 2 days. That's the basic recipe, though there are variations to it.

Cool, thanks for the info!

In Sweden they are very common too but never in oil. It's usually saltwater and vinegar.

If you are Swedish then you are familiar with herring 🙂

I bought the vinegar marinated ones in Ikea. I know, Ikea is perhaps not gourmet food but I liked them a lot!
